I had in my head that I wanted to learn how to do a multi-layered card. Then, ironically, Tami White posted a tutorial on the very subject. After watching the short video (see it here: Tami White's Triple Time Technique , I realized that my fear of this technique was silly... this is so easy to do!

I used the 2017-2019 In Colors for this card. The Berry Burst is so bright and cheerful! Once you decide which color is right for you, stamp the image around the layers of Whisper White, then color them in using the markers.Adhere the Whisper White layers to the corresponding Berry Burst layers, then finish off with an Itty Bitty Bow from the 2017-2019 In Color collection. It's that easy!I hope you like this card. Please leave me a comment below to let me know, or just to say "Hi!".Thank you for stopping by, have a great day, and Happy Stampin'!SUPPLIES:

This card is very easy to make. The hardest part is deciding which color to make the frosting. Doesn't it look real??

I wanted to use a patterned paper that I already owned, so I skimmed through my Petal Garden Designer Paper pack and chose one that looked birthday-like. There is actually a lot of choices in that pack that can be used for a birthday card. Once I had decided which paper I would used helped me to make the decision to use Rich Razzleberry as the base color for the card. I finished off the frosting with a bit of Wink of Stella to add some sparkle. I think you can see the sparkle in this photo...

I hope you like this card. Please leave me a comment below to let me know, or just to say Hi!Thank you for stopping by. Have a great day, and Happy Stampin!SUPPLIES:

Coloring and fussy cutting... not my favorite of the stamp techniques that are available for card-making. However, with the Beautiful Day stamp set and the Stampin' Blends alcohol markers, coloring on vellum is so easy!! Also, since this stamp outline is so thick, it's made perfect for fussy-cutting.What is fussy-cutting you ask? It's when you cut out an image the old-fashioned way... with a pair of scissors.

I first stamped the image with Versamark and then heat embossed it using copper embossing powder. I then turned it over and colored in the image on the back side using the Stampin' Blends alcohol markers. I did this first, and then put it aside to allow for drying.

I then assembled the rest of the card before fussy-cutting out the butterfly. Doesn't it look like stained glass?I hope you like this card. Please leave a comment below to let me know, or just to say "hi!"Thank you for stopping by. Have a great day, and Happy Stampin!SUPPLIES:
